Update data in airtable With the Airtable Plugin

[adolfoferreira]

Hi!!

I’m using Airtable for data on my app, it works fine, but now I tried to update a record and nothing works, i tried goolge search but nothing, does anyone knows what do I have to type in the record input? I tried all my choices and nothing works

Thanks!!

There is a button “Re-initialize table” under “Modify Fields” that is inside the plugin. Like this:

ok, but that is to configure the table, my problem is that any combination that I try in the record field it always gets red

[rladrond]

Do you mind if I take a look at the editor?

Same problem. Can’t get record to not be red. No link to reference docs to explain.

Same problem: I used API connector to submit new records about users to Airtable’s database and it successfuly works for creation of new records. But when I tried to edit that data, I wasn’t able to match the editing field with existing user in database. Is there any way to say Airtable where exectly to edit (which user to choose) accross the table?

Version 2 of the Airtable plugin has been released. I haven’t had a chance to check this particular issue yet, but a number of bugs and performance issues were addressed. Might want to re-try once your instance has the new version.

Hi,
Was this problem resolved? How to find which record to modify?

[matt23]

[alexryanharrison]

Any Updates? Same issue.

[aleksamitrovic91]

Any updates? I can’t modify as well.

[checkex]

I have the same problem. It’s just not possible.

I too, am having this same issue.

Maybe a bunch of us should team up to problem solve all of these common Airtable - Bubble plugin issues, and then make a youtube channel about it. I am at my wits end.

Hi - was this ever fixed? Currently having the same problem trying to modify a record from bubble to airtable

Can confirm that this thread works for this problem. It’s convoluted and totally unintuitive, but it works.

Airtable plugin modify a record

Hi Antoine, yes Bubble helped me. Here is how to do : Step 1 : choose the data type you want to modify [Capture d’écran 2020-12-19 à 20.52.45] Step 2 : click on Get data from an external API [Capture d’écran 2020-12-19 à 20.53.33] Step 3 : choose the API provider and put :first item on the Record field [Capture d’écran 2020-12-19 à 20.54.35] Step 4 : set field you want to modify Best

Oh fantastic! Thanks for sharing ALB, I’ll try it out on my app.

I found thomas.gounot’s tip really helpful, but selecting “Items: first item” for the record confused me.
I decided to store the the airtable record reference in a custom state on the page

This allowed me to choose the record
